I have a problem with pine.  It says that it can't delete messages because
they are read only.  I looked in the /var/mail directory and everyone owns
thier mail and has read and write permission. Any suggestions would be
great.
Oh and I can't seem to get XFree86 to download the sysinstall program
always says unable to install and gives no reason but it seems like it
can't find it.

thanks
wes
